I am using Forms5 and Reports 3.- A novice questn perhaps this is :-
I want to generate the reports output -about 500 pages -into a text/ascii file so that it can be printed on a hi-speed dot-marix printer. How to set this?

Either write the report to a flat file using 'text_io'. Do you have 'utl_file' available to you? If so, then use that instead of 'text_io', or use courier or some other fixed font in Oracle Reports.
Have you considered using SQL*Plus to create the report and then invoking it from Forms?
